Be it known that I, FREDERICK LINDNER, a citizencf the United States, residing at Chicago, in thelco'unty of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful 1m provenients in Devices for Holding Watches, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates 'to safety attache mentsfor' watches, and'one of'the'principal objects 'off'thesame is to-provide means whereby a watch maybe securely held ine" pocket so that it cannot be surreptitiously withdrawn/or from which the watch will not drop in chan 'ng the clothing. v

Anoth'erlo ject ofthei formed thereon or connected thereto in which the ringofia watch. is to he'connected,

said clasp being attached to the outer wall edge hand ofthe pocket.

These and other objects may be attained by means of the construction illustrated in Figure Lisa si e elevation of a portion ofe garment having'apocket secured thereto and showing mysafety attachment and a watch connected thereto in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken through the pocket and showing. a watch connected to the clasp.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view ofthe safety clasp showing a watch, said. clasp beingnde cached from the pocket. o Referring to the drawing for 'a more p3,

A spring tongue 7 preferably formedintegral with theplate 4' extends from one end; thereof and forms a l'oop 8 to which the watch ring 9 is 1 connected. The tongue? extends from the .platew itli the curved portion l0,'sea.ti}ng within the recess 6 and thus preynts-"tl e withdrawal oi the -watch except ng-by a lateral movement.

My invention is of simple construction, cen" be ,quickly-aliplied to any. pocket,. can he manufacturm at slight cost and is durable and efficient for its purpose- Having thus described theinvention, what I claim as new,
